And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Job 42:1 – 42:17

  1 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
  2 I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withholden from thee.
  3 Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
  4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
  5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
  6 Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.
  7 And it was [so], that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me [the thing that is] right, as my servant Job [hath].
  8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, in that ye have not spoken of me [the thing which is] right, like my servant Job.
  9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job.
  10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
  11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
  12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
  13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
  14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren–happuch.
  15 And in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
  16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, [even] four generations.
  17 So Job died, [being] old and full of days.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.

Job sits on an ash heap, his body covered in reddish sores, barely covered by a cloth, as three of his friends stand before him, one speaking to him in a desolate, ruined landscape under a stormy sky.

Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. Job 34:1 – 34:37

A man, resembling Job but with a look of renewed hope and joy, sits on an ash heap in a blossoming desert landscape with a flowing stream. He has his arms outstretched towards a radiant light in the heavens, from which a subtle, benevolent divine face emerges. His faithful dog rests peacefully beside him.
 

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him:

In a desolate, ancient landscape under a cloudy sky, Job, an elderly man with reddish sores on his bare chest, sits on an ash heap, facing three older, bearded men who are seated respectfully on the ground. A younger man, Elihu, stands slightly apart, looking modest and thoughtful, his hands clasped, as if preparing to speak.
